MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
We have an exciting year of programing ahead for our chapter!!! I am especially happy that we have a joint event featuring the Philadelphia chapter of the AGO, and that we will be welcoming so very many guests to our region with the coming regional convention in 2019. We will need all hands on deck as we approach this important moment in our history, so there couldn’t possibly be a better time to head to a chapter event and become more involved!
Please do not hesitate to email me with any suggestions or ideas you have for our future, how to grow our chapter and what sort of programming you would like to see.
Sincerely, Steve Ball, Dean
